It was one of those soft, cloudy Sydney afternoons; the kind that feels made for slow moments and the kind of togetherness that asks for nothing but presence..
The whole extended family had gathered, visiting from overseas. There were grandparents, cousins, two dogs chasing waves… and a four-year-old who decided this wasn’t just a photoshoot — it was an expedition. He found shells (then more shells), a tiny butterfly he held like a secret.
Extended family photos can look a bit like this. Shared laughter shared by generations, hands full, hearts fuller. It doesn’t have to be everyone standing in a line; sometimes it’s simply everyone together, exactly as they are.
